Having now finally installed my new Pro X - (version 15.05.211) - I now receive the above pop up window - inviting me to buy this activation for £60.00 - when trying to import my Panasonic GH5 footage. This is just a normal 25p 4k 150mbs 10 bit .mov file, which I am able - and have always been able - to import into my old Pro X6 software just fine. So I am back using that again now!
What has changed? Any ideas please?
Thanks.

A quick update and warning to anyone else using Panasonic GH5 cameras and thinking of upgrading to Pro X. I have been unable to get a response from Magix Support, so have given up and reluctantly had to ask for a refund on my upgrade. .
My guess is that there is a bug in the software which now incorrectly thinks all Panasonic GH5 files are of the much higher 400 ms bit rate and Al -i format etc. So I am continuing with X6 which continues to open my files as normal.

I confirm this fact also at my place. Pro X also has problems with recordings over 50 Mbps. When will it be fixed? Today, many cameras have a bitrate above 50 Mbps. Links to sample recordings
Max 50 Mbps https://mega.nz/#!pyZD1B7R!raJeT8tyWrU5XFjtOBB5dfcTWE2GZeoDyesrABsDreM
Above 50 Mbps https://mega.nz/#!IvI0nCzQ!ozzV_Ja-x1ZUzPqn_uTqy0HbV9k0w4C10v_Qd9AX9bg
It is difficult to recommend this program when it has such errors.

There would appear to be something wrong with the video fils, it looks like it they have been converted, possibly with ffmpeg.
MediaInfo is giving me the following for the do50Mbps video file (the second file is similar) - I have highlighted the issues:

To avoid files being converted try uploading to a sharing site that does not convert video such as Dropbox.

Hi
Are the two new videos, linked to, supposed to be samples of original video taken with the GH5s?
If so there is still a problem with both videos they appear to have been converted as I posted before.
